The relevant part of the rim, where the tyre/tire meets the rim, must have a certain form to fit standard tyres/tires and I can't see anything exceptionally different with the Saab version. What is so special about Saab wheelrims that you consider it criminal to put them on cars? -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
